Aloha one and all,
Well, where to start. The "Semaine de relache" (aka no class for a week) just finished. For what I can remember, the previous week was intense, lots of work to do before leaving Montreal for a week. And oh, what a week.
The trip (once again with my two italians of course) started a friday night on a bus terminal. We were so scared of missing the last bus to NY that we got there 2 hours in advance, which is incredibly rare being me. And so we were so early that we took a previous bus straight away and got to NY (after 7h) at 4:30am. Great. I always knew being early is pointless, here's the proof. As we had nothing better to do we just slept at Port Authority for a couple of hours, ad then headed to Sturbucks to start planing our days there.
The hostel was pretty well located and we had a 6 beds room for the three of us most of the nights, which was great. And, my favourite: surrounded by pizza places, but not regular ones, oh no. 1$ slices, and .50$ coffe. Never have I ever eaten pizza so many times, literally, even for breakfast (1,5$ for breakfast, how could I not).
We spent 5 days in NYC. It was great. Really great. We did as tourists do for the first couple of days, well maybe the others too. But some days we split to do different stuff, and I could enjoy that feeling of being in Central Park early in the morning, getting lost there when there is barely anyone else. Gotta love the feeling. Also, this time I managed to see some friends, which made the trip worth it. I've been to places I'd never been to before, and I have to say, it was amazing :)
NYC left me a bitter-sweet feeling, but oh well, I'll be back... And the trip went on. BOSTON. First time there, and I liked it from the very first moment. A lot smaller and a lot more quiet than what I expected, to be honest. Definitely in a good way. In three days there we just walked around and enjoyed the city, without looking at the map too much (it was a terrible map so we could barely understand it anyway). We saw the main atractions, though I'm sure we saw a lot more than we realised but didn't know. So in resume, Boston left me a really good impresion, and I can tell I could live in a place like that. Maybe when I go to Harvard. HA. Just kidding, Anyway I thought Harvard was no big deal, so good for me that I don't wanna go there, I'll keep the 45000$ a year that it costs to myself (I mean, if I had them...).
And so, to finish this up, I've had SUCH a great time that it was hard to come back to (an already white) Montreal. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE Montreal. And now, getting back to the swing of things. Oh wait, and waiting for some visitors that arrive this weekend. Mum decided a couple of days ago that she's coming visit for a week - and she will be here this friday! With decisions/ plans like this, you can tell I'm her daughter :) Also my uncle and aunt will be here, so it'll be a good excuse to go around a bit.
À+!
